Words of Encouragement

If you have ever felt like the one sheep who wandered off, know today that the Shepherd left the ninety-nine to come looking for you, and when He found you, He celebrated more over your return than over those who never strayed. And if you find yourself wondering about entire groups of people in your world who seem far from the fold, take heart, Jesus already said He has other sheep, and He needs to gather them too. This is not wishful thinking. This is His stated mission. Your part is simple but significant, to recognize when He is bringing someone home, and to be among the first to embrace them with the same love that once welcomed you.

Words of Encouragement:

Renaissance People, you are living proof that the Creator of the universe thinks you're worth pursuing! The same God who spoke galaxies into existence went on a search-and-rescue mission specifically for you. You didn't find Him because you were better than others—you found Him because He found you first and gave you the grace to respond. Now you get to be part of His ongoing mission to find others who are still lost, still running, still hiding. All around the world, Jesus is appearing in dreams and visions to people who weren't even seeking Him because His love compels Him to reveal Himself to every lost sheep. Your story of being found becomes a beacon of hope for others that they too can be discovered by divine love. Keep your heart tender to His continued revelations and help others recognize when the Good Shepherd is calling their name!
